I love your arrogance when all you are is a fan. glad your not the GM. Also you complain about being a 3rd place team but guess what Hamilton doesnt guarantee ANYTHING!!! And if we sign him to a huge deal you better not complain when the Phillies are a 5th place team annually in five years.

you're comments are great. it's annoying constantly seeing all these suggestions that would only work on PlayStation.

I called for Pagan to come here at the beginning of the offseason, his numbers are very similar (actually in my opinion slightly better than bourn). I believe that signing him on a 10m per year contract (nothing more than that though)would be great for this team. I think the next move COULD be Hamilton, I wouldn't be surpised to see them sign both or even Swisher. But I would much rather them, go grab a youk or trade for a 3b, get a nice bullpen piece, and solid #4 starting pitcher (I want Shaun Marcum). I think it would be better for them to have much more well rounded team. Also, I think that signing Hamilton is scary in the sense that the core of this lineup I cant see getting more than 100 games together in the 345 hole. Hamilton Utley Howard of course, which isn't definite of course, but it scares me a bit.

Take him off our hands please! I'm not saying this in a malicious manner by any means as Pagan was a fan favorite, but the rumors for the kind of money he might get is absolutely absurd.

I don't understand how the Braves got better..they traded a young ace for a 7th inning guy? Walden has an arm and although Hanson really struggled this year I think everyone knows what he can do.
BJ Upton Hasn't hit over 250 in four years and his power is about as streaky as his brothers. A big contract for a 255 career hitter who struck out over 160 times last year? No thanks. Yes he has potential but that doesn't mean he is ever going to use it. Average Defender also. I would be much happier with Pagan. Phillies need consistant hitters, guys who can actually put the ball in play. Aim for Pagan and Youk and load up the bullpen. Figgins may be a nice buy low kind of player who can play multiple positions and a change of scenery can get him back on track. He was a guy who really knew how to work a count with the Angels.
